Real Madrid Give Themselves Crucial Lifeline As They Get a Solid Win Against Inter Milan at the San Siro

This was much anticipated champions league match was about kick off. All eyes on the Inter Milan vs Real Madrid fixture as this was the biggest fixture and a lot of eyes balls was on that game. A lot has happened to Real Madrid so far this season and it hasn’t gone the way they would have hoped. Their champions league campaign so far have been a mess especially for a club like Real Madrid. Before this game, they were sitting in a disappointing position, a position no one expected them to be at at the start of the season. A loss would have worsened the whole thing and the conversation that Real Madrid could potentially play in the Europa League would have surfaced. Even though Real Madrid still has a long way in other to cement their qualification, they are in a very good position right now. However, with the way things are right now, they might manage finishing second in their group as Monchengladbach are not smiling and are looking likely to top the group.

The match began and all the focus was on this match to see how Real Madrid was going to fare against a tough team like Inter Milan at the San Siro, knowing fully well that a loss would be disastrous for them. No one wants to begin to imagine Real Madrid playing in the Europa League, even though there is nothing actually wrong with that, but a club with such a huge status and brand as far as club football is concerned, not making it out of the group would be a big dent to their brand and I’m sure that was a huge motivation enough for them not to get any result other than a win. If Real Madrid had lost, it would have been really bad for them because their last 2 games is a very tough one as well and any bad result could mean the end of their champions league campaign… but this win has given them the crucial life line that they can avoid the disappointment of playing in the Europa league.

Real Madrid dominated the game from start to finish and were the better team in the match. From the first minute of the game, you could see that Real Madrid wanted the win and they were they to win. Eden Hazard who has faced a lot of criticism this season and last season was the player to put Real Madrid in front with his ever reliable penalty. Inter Milan werent really causing Madridd any major problems and the first half ended in a 1 nil lead for Real Madrid. The second half began and it was pretty much a similar story. Real Madrid had more of the ball and were looking more threatening. Finally the cushion lead came on the 59th minute, all thanks to Rodrigo who doubled the lead for Real Madrid to make the game safe. At the end, Inter Milan didn’t really do much and Real Madrid got the deserved win to put themselves in a very good position in the group.
